伊拉克北部上空，一架来自布什号航空母舰的 F/A-18E 战斗机在空袭叙利亚境内ISIL行动中进行空中加油，其翼下共挂载了6枚JDAM（杰达姆）联合制导炸弹，这是一种低成本攻击弹药，在MK-80系列常规炸弹的基础上加装惯性制导系统和GPS定位系统而成。虽然在攻击精度上不如激光制导炸弹，但这种武器几乎不受气象环境影响，价格更便宜，并且可以射后不理，自主攻击。（A U.S. Navy F-18E Super Hornet receives fuel from a KC-135 Stratotanker over northern Iraq after conducting air strikes in Syria, Sept. 23, 2014.
